Shaine Stephen runs a small business in Hobart and lives with his wife in the foothills of Mt Wellington. Shaine is passionate about Tasmania’s potential to be able to deliver the things people really need – a healthy environment, fulfilling jobs, community democracy and good healthcare and housing.
Shaine condemns the recent cuts to health, education and other public services and believes that the government can create jobs, revitalise the economy and look after people by boosting funding to these services. Shaine opposes the partial privatisation of public housing, the attempts to privatise Aurora and the selling of public assets. Instead, he calls for more high-quality, energy efficient public housing to be built and for Tasmania to become powered by 100% renewable energy. He opposes the pulp mill and calls for free, frequent, energy efficient public transport and for an end to handouts to big corporations, especially ones that destroy the environment.
In addition, Shaine supports justice for Aboriginal people and refugees and stands up for workers’ rights, women’s rights and equality for all.
Shaine is an activist committed to building movements that put people and the environment before profit.
A vote for Shaine Stephen and the Socialist Alliance is a vote for a progressive Tasmania!
